Another Conservative Day



Life has been fairly bereft of blogworthy events lately.  Humdrum has been the word.  But yesterday, Samos and I went to lunch and then to the Volunteer Park Conservatory, a favorite place, and one which I have mentioned before.  We enjoy going again and again just to say hello to our favorite plants.  When we got there, we headed straight for the warm, warm, dry cactus room, as it was a very cold day outside, and Samos loves the desert.  We basked a bit in the heat with the cacti, and then headed for the tropical room.  

A hungry carnivore!


This is my favorite, but not because I love the tropics. Au contraire! It was very hot and very steamy, (my most unfavorite weather) and is definitely not my chosen milieu.  But I do love the luxurious greenness and, like all ghoulish children, I always need to stop by the carnivorous plants.  Little Shop of Horrors is a movie that I always find terrifying, and always enjoy!


A television crew was making a news spot about the conservatory, and we got to be sample visitors – on television.  You can see us here.  Well, I guess you can't!  I can't find the link again.  But the above picture was from the King 5 news site.     


Me pretending there is not that big thing behind me.

How wonderful that you had dressed for television in your Oregon cardigan!

How lovely to see you in action, Joanna! Oregon was a star; I love the repeat appearances, Forrest Gump-like in the background.
